You cite tickets you received as “deserved”.

Yes, and I got those when I was young and stupid. My last ticket that cost me $$$s, was in my 1975 Monte Carlo when it was almost new. My job requires me to take defensive driving every two years, so I really try to observe the laws.

The government is now a enormous union run criminal enterprise,

I agree with you on that statement. Look at the trash we have in DC and many large cities.

Its the States as well. Federalism run amok. Commerce clause gone wild. The thing that irritates me is conservatives don't like to admit that fifty years of Law and Order voting went a long way towards creating this mess.
